I have been super remiss in not giving a shout-out to the amazingly talented folks at Anima Monday, which I like to think of as a sister-blog. (I’ve been super distracted, more on that later.) I’m in love with all of them over there. Go visit now!

This week they have posted an interview with Emma Restall Orr, whose book, The Wakeful World, takes animism to the gladiator ring of Western philosophy in the Academy. Not for the faint of heart, such an endeavor! And Orr does it admirably, with heart as well as intellectual rigor.

But the contributors to Anima Monday are her equal in their wild, fierce, generous, and humble insights into what it means to live in this world, fully alive, fully present, and in love with life, in all its glory and pain.

Animists of the world unite! 🙂

Welcome

This is a place to talk and think together about how we can see ourselves and the world differently. Please join in!

How can we re-think (and re-do) the relationship between the human and the not-human, nature and not-nature, the spiritual and the worldly, between you and me? How can we find and nurture commonality (same-ness amid difference) not just among humans, but among humans and non-humans? How might we assemble the bits and pieces of a way of life with staying power?
